Focus with Pocket Camera

PostTue Sep 24, 2013 9:46 pm

So far am still testing the Pocket Cinema, and came across this question:

The manual indicates the pressing the okay button twice will reveal 1:1 pixel image to determine if in proper focus. However, so far this only results in bringing up the slate page.

Any thoughts forum friends?

The double tap on the OK button works but you have to be quick about it. Not a problem once you find your rhythm.

You're not double clicking quickly enough. Same thing happens to me from time to time.

Same here. Once you get used to how fast you need to click it, you'll hit it every time... but there is a bit of an acclimation curve before you get used to it.

All in all, I find the little collection of buttons to be quite ergonomic. You just need to develop a feel for navigating around them.

Yeah, at first I thought it was buggy but apparently I just wasn't tapping fast enough.
